Poker Calculator Announcement: Hold em Pirate and Hold em Hawk Barred by Poker Stars

Since the Party Poker collapse a few years ago, Poker Stars has emerged as the undeniable head in sheer amounts of net poker players. They have the largest tournaments, the most active tables, the biggest cash games, plus the fastest filling up sit down and go tournaments on the web. With that comes strength – the strength to choose your associates, affiliates, and more to our point; acceptable computer software.

Lengthy have I been recommending Hold em Hawk and Holdem Pirate (they are in fact the same) poker calculators as simple to use and visibly desirable poker calculators. Recently though, these products have pushed the limits of acceptable use, at least within the view of Poker Stars, and therefore have been prohibited from use on that website. This is sad news, as a good product, not unlike a few of the suitable software allowed by Stars, is now essentially grounded because the biggest poker site on the planet thinks it’s too directly connected to an Operative Poker Calculator.

An Operative Poker Calculator is similar to a secret adviser operating for you, collecting and mining player info that it is possible to use against them down the line. The thing is, you don’t need to be at the table for this to take place. The software (database) is working all of the time for you. For the majority of poker web sites, which is over the line of fairness, just as in actual life as well.

Except Hold em Pirate and Holdem Hawk are really Empirical Poker Calculators, just the same as Holdem Indicator is. These types of poker calculators only gather information and facts on your competitors when you are at the table, just like you had been playing in an actual scenario.

So why the Poker Stars Smack? Here’s an authentic warning I received from Poker Stars while running Holdem Pirate:

Following a review of your account, we come across that you might be using an external application identifiedas Poker Sherlock, or its related programs, Poker Edge, PokerBotPro, Holdem Hawk and Hold em Pirate……PokerStars shall be entitled to take such action as it sees fit, including immediately preventing access to the Games to such User, terminating such User’s account with PokerStars and appropriating all funds held within the relevant Poker Stars "real money account".

Hey, did you notice the "appropriating all money" line? That is what you can do when you are this huge!

The "related applications" is the source of the dilemma. The corporation that created Hawk and Pirate also produce Poker Edge and PokerBotPro, which are data miners. Actually, I think that Stars thinks Hawk and Pirate really mine data for these associated products, while appearing like an Empirical Poker Calculator on the surface.

So therein lies the crux of the trouble. If you take place to bet on on Stars and have Hawk or Pirate, you’re out of luck, as I have attempted to reverse this judgment. I received a well mannered reply from the employees at Poker Stars, but really, it isn’t likely to alter. The great news though is that Hold em Indicator has been added to Poker Stars appropriate computer software checklist, and it’s the only empirical calculator to be approved by them.
